Advanced CVD Risk Model: Explanation and Clinical Context The Advanced CVD Risk Model, developed by the American Heart Association, estimates the 10-year risk of cardiovascular events in individuals aged 30–79 years without a history of cardiovascular disease. This model incorporates factors such as age, sex, race, smoking status, diabetes, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol levels to provide a personalized risk assessment.
